Abstract

Objective: To establish physical capacity and changes in postural control (PCO) during static and dynamic single-legged support in women with Greater Trochanter Pain Syndrome (GTPS). Methods: A total of 36 sedentary women over 45 years of age were evaluated. Of these, 18 had a diagnosis of GTPS (Pain Group - DG), and 18 had no pain complaints (Control Group - CG). All participants answered the Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment for Gluteal Tendinopathy (VISA-G) questionnaire to analyze their physical capacity regarding lateral hip pain. Therefore, were submitted to the evaluation of postural control on the force platform in static and dynamic single-legged support (mini squats). The data were compared and correlated, with statistical significance established at 5%. Results: The participants in the DG presented a high pain index (7) for 10 months and low functional capacity (54.44 points in the VISA-G). In the analysis of static postural control, DG showed worse results for the Center of Pressure (COP) oscillation area (p= 0.04) and greater amplitude of mediolateral oscillation (p= 0.03). In the dynamic evaluation, the results of the mediolateral amplitude (p= 0.02) and anteroposterior velocity (p= 0.04) were higher in the DG, but the COP was worse in the CG (p= 0.01). Conclusion: Women with GTPS have lower functional capacity and worse static and dynamic postural control. These variables should be evaluated to establish new prevention and rehabilitation strategies for women with GTPS.
